Key tips

  1. Look for hard side lighting to emphasize the surface texture of the sandstone.
  2. Apply a longer shutter speed to smooth out the water's movement and enhance the calm lighting.
  3. Pay attention to the lighting during twilight to capture the warm tones on the rocky slopes effectively.
